It's our month!!.

August is here.. OMG haha congratulations to everyone who has given birth already. Love all the BAs for the rest of us due date month is finally here. I'm up at 4.30 because a braxton hicks contraction rudely woke up then I realised omg it's August and too excited to sleep how is everyone feeling? Xx

Due baby 2 a week today and I'm excited more then anything mixed with some nerves. I also can't sleep after a trip to the loo. Feels like this is the only time I get some peace and quiet too. Can't believe we've made it to our birth month. Amazing good luck everyone xx

Me too been awake since 4:30am again after a toilet break and couldn't get back to sleep was too hungry. Last stretch an just over a week to go. Feeling more nervous this time (no2)!! Not long now ladies xx
